Battleship (2012)

Let’s kick this off by addressing one of the most recent blatant attempts at selling kids something they previously had no interest in -- the board game Battleship. In case you forgot, this box office bomb was supposed to get kids super jazzed about the tedious Hasbro plaything, cramming both explosions and Rihanna into the storyline while leaving out the only quasi-fun aspect of the game itself -- moviegoers didn’t hear anyone say, “You sunk my battleship” during the course of the film. Not even once. Boo!
